Oakland Raiders: 5 players who must be better in Week 6
By Brad Weiss
Derek Carr
Derek Carr had his worst game of the season on Sunday, and his interception to Melvin Ingram in the end zone could not have come at a worse time. The Raiders trailed the Chargers 20-3 in the third quarter, but drove all the way down the field, and had a first-and-goal situation from the one-yard line.
Unfortunately, the team did not give the ball to Marshawn Lynch, and by the time Ingram picked Carr off in the end zone, the game was officially over. For Carr, there have been way too many plays like that this season, and he has uncharacteristically careless with the football, as the interceptions are really starting to pile up.
The Seahawks defense is nothing to write home about, and the Raiders should be able to move the ball. However, we said that about the Chargers defense last weekend as well, and as we saw, when Carr gets anxious in the pocket, bad things are going to happen.
